I'm not sure why the other reviewer took such a dislike to this book. Okay, I am sitting in the library right now and loving this book so much that I wanted to weigh in on it at Amazon. It is the fifth book like this that I have read and it is the best of the lot so I just wanted to share my opinion. About me: I am a fifth year HS science teacher who is okay at teaching but really unhappy with my planning and how to motivate the students. I turn to these books once in awhile hoping for some inspriration. I have just spent about an hour reading Chapter 9, Implementing Instruction and have learned about Ausubel's "Advance Organizers", some suggestions for closure of a lesson, and two relevant, well-chosen biographical anecdotes from teachers. I think this book is better than the other ones like it I read, including the one we had to read in Ed School. | ||
empty platitudes Unless you are forced to read this book for a class my recommendation would be to avoid it at all costs. There is precious little useful information or guidance for the prospective teacher. | ||
